One-Way Love

"Good Bye" is a lie
Can't you tell
I am just too shy
To say how deep into you I fell

There is no point to explain
The feelings my eyes cannot contain
Love rains down my face
As a tribute to your grace

One-way love is beautiful
Yet it is so painful
I die every time you walk away
And live again when you come my way

Why do you not love me
Do you not like what you see
You need to look beneath my skin
Before you throw me into the bin

You Live Inside Me

You are inside me
You live inside me
I am your home
Your favourite gnome
Open my door
Open your door
Let's grow old
Are you cold
my blood warm you up
you warm me up
Let's be happy
Are you hungry
Feed on my love
I feed on your love
Plant flowers in my heart
It's not yet time to part
You live inside me
I keep you inside me

Claustrophobic Life

I lie down on the ground
I can hear no more sound
The sky seems closer
I just need to see better

I make an effort to stretch my hand
I can touch clouds soft as sand
They say I'm guilty for not being happy
And that all I need is therapy

But there is no cure for me to heal
I feel for something not real
I followed their birdcalls
Now I'm trapped within invisible walls

What's in a claustrophobic life
Make me colourblind
And I shall enjoy this halflife
Maybe some sleep I shall find

The world is my lovely prison
Someone is calling from the outside
Or is it from the inside
Anyway I like the taste of this slow poison

The world made me a slave
Telling me how to behave
I accept being a slave
And freedom I shall not crave

The world put me in a cage
Waiting for me to come of age
I do not have enough courage
To fly away from my birdcage

What's in a claustrophobic life
Sing me a beautiful aria
And I shall enjoy this nonlife
Let me embrace my beloved insomnia

The missing quatrain:
I hate this feeling of incompleteness
I feel powerless and everything smells of madness
Hello my charming suicide bride
I can’t breathe… Will you help me with some cyanide
